Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 288 Expedition to Distant Lands
After Lu Ming finished speaking.

Zhang Mu stepped forward and said, "If the army travels at full speed, it will take about half a year to reach the Ancestral Mountain. Therefore, logistics must keep up. I suggest setting up teleportation arrays along the way so that supplies can be guaranteed after the war begins."

However, the road must be cleared first. There are many forces on the mountains along the way. If they cannot be subdued, the safety of all formations and logistics cannot be guaranteed.

If this matter is to be accomplished, it will take three to five years.

However, as long as a path is opened up and the Human Ancestor Mountain Range is seized, it will be a step towards expanding our territory for the Great Yu. The territory here is very large, comparable in size to the Great Yu itself. If we can conquer it, our territory will double in size.

Moreover, the number of enslaved humans on Mount Renzu is not small, though not as large as in the Nine Provinces, it is still considerable.

Lu Ming nodded. "Taking revenge will always take time. Opening a passage is indeed very important. Who is willing to go?"

Although there are many forces along the way, there are no particularly strong experts, so sending one general would be enough.

After everyone exchanged glances, Qin Feng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this humble general is willing to go!"

Although Qin Feng made many contributions after joining the Great Yu, he was still inferior to Wu Han and the others.

Now, if we can open up this road, we can finally hold our heads high in front of all the generals.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Lu Ming glanced at him and pondered for a moment before saying, "If the city guards are to do this battle, it would indeed be appropriate. So you shall take charge of it. The army can be selected by the soldiers themselves, and the retainers can be asked for help when necessary."

Baili Fei was in charge of logistics and the construction of the formation; this passage had to be opened as quickly as possible.

There will definitely be various forces causing trouble this time; we must prepare for the worst!

Within the Nine Provinces of the Great Yu Dynasty, many experts dare not enter.

However, opening up battlefields in distant lands would be a different story. The teachers of the saints did not say that battles could not be fought here, so it would inevitably attract the obstruction of experts.

Furthermore, if the army truly expands its territory by tens of thousands of miles and connects with the Ancestral Mountain, the fortune of the Great Yu will also spread there.

At that time, the places where powerful beings from distant lands could move freely became even fewer.

They certainly wouldn't agree to that.

Even if they don't openly cause trouble, they'll still take action behind the scenes.

Therefore, the level of difficulty is self-evident.

However, this path must be taken, not only for a sea of ​​blood, but more importantly, for the Great Yu to expand. The Nine Provinces now have the resources to stop the strong, but they do not have a way to truly match them.

Moreover, he believed that the human race occupied too little territory and should not have only this much. Why should so many people in the distant lands be enslaved by those so-called powerful beings?

Let them kill as they please.

Now that Lu Ming has become the Human Emperor of Kyushu, he must speak up for the human race.

The Ancestral Mountain is just the first step.

There are still more territories to come. The Great Yu Kingdom may not be well-known in the distant lands right now, but Lu Ming is confident.

Once the army breaks through the Ancestral Mountain, everyone will know about it.

This was his first response to the distant lands.

"Yes, sir!" Qin Feng replied quickly.

A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. Although this matter was difficult, he understood that if he succeeded, it would be a tremendous achievement.

In fact, in everyone's eyes, conquering the nine provinces was not a true expansion of territory; it was merely inheriting the good land of their ancestors.

To conquer the Nine Provinces and establish a foothold in distant lands is, in the eyes of all humankind, true territorial expansion and the creation of new territories for humankind.

At that time, the fortunes of the Great Yu Dynasty and Lu Ming's prestige will reach new heights. Qin Feng will be overshadowed by Lu Ming's brilliance, but he will also be remembered by everyone. How could he not be excited?

Lu Ming nodded, his gaze turning to the various Imperial Guards. "You are responsible for providing support at any time. If any powerful figures descend, the Zhou Tian Star Array is currently our only means of restraining powerful beings and saints."

"Understood!" the Imperial Guard generals replied hastily.

Then, Lu Ming glanced around and said, "Within three years, we will bridge the gap between Dayu and Yuantu, and within ten years, we will destroy the Ancestral Mountain of Humanity. This is what Dayu will do in the future. You will all perform your duties."

We must not slack off!

His voice suddenly became unusually serious.

Everyone immediately bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

Then, at Lu Ming's signal, he carefully retreated.

In the days that followed, a massive amount of resources from the Great Yu Dynasty began to converge on the border, including elixirs, armor, immortal crystals, spirit stones, and various supporting personnel such as array masters, talisman masters, and weapon refiners.

This is definitely not just about opening up roads; if possible, cities will even be built along the way, so there are many things to prepare.

Of course, the elite of the city guard were also summoned.

The army consisted of five million soldiers, most of whom were at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm or even the True Immortal realm. The leader was Qin Feng, who was at the peak of the Great Luo realm, but he was accompanied by three Quasi-Saints.

After three months of preparation, they slowly set off towards the outside of Dayu. They headed north. Today, Dayu is surrounded by the territory of distant lands. The western border is covered by the sea of ​​blood, while the northern border is closest to the Ancestral Mountain of Humanity.

After leaving here, you will be faced with a completely different landscape from Kyushu; it is a truly wild and untamed land.

However, Qin Feng was very excited. When he drove his chariot and led his army to the city, he thought of the human ancestors who had fought in the Nine Provinces. The Nine Provinces of that time were just like the distant lands of today.

It is only because of the efforts of our ancestors that it has become what it is today.

The news of the Great Yu's dispatch of troops also alarmed all parties involved.

After all, the fact that the other side occupied one of the Nine Provinces was already a thorn in their side. For those powerful beings, they could come and go freely in the Haotian Immortal Realm, but now that the Nine Provinces had appeared, they always had to take a detour every time they passed by.

Such concessions made them regard Dayu as a thorn in their side.

This expansion of territory by the Great Yu is tantamount to widening this thorn in their side.

Therefore, it naturally angered many people, especially the ruthless old man.

This is clearly aimed at me.

The forces of Dayu must naturally be stopped.

At this moment, within the Taiqing Sect, the current sect leader frowned upon receiving Qingxiao's report.

"Lu Ming wants to conquer distant lands? This idea is too unrealistic. Those are truly treacherous places. This path is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than unifying the nine provinces. Even sages have to be cautious when dealing with powerful figures from distant lands."

What he's doing is a bit dangerous.

"Go and inform him now, and tell him not to be anxious, otherwise it may lead to a great disaster." The Shangqing Sect Master was also taken aback by his disciple. Even at the height of the human race's power, and with him boasting of ten thousand immortals paying homage, they still couldn't defend the Nine Provinces.

Lu Ming actually had the mind to launch an expedition to distant lands at this time, which in his opinion was simply impossible to accomplish.

At this moment, Qingxiao thought of a sentence that Lu Ming had once said. The other party had said that he would rescue his master and senior brother. Could it be that going to war in distant lands was one of his plans?

Although he thought this in his heart, he dared not reveal it, and simply said respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

Then he carefully retreated.
